LINKÖPING, Sweden, June 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- International
medical imaging IT and cybersecurity company
Sectra (STO: SECT B) has completed the unique
nationwide telepathology solution in the Netherlands, PIE. The final part of
the solution, which enables automatic upload of all images
connected to a case, has now been approved and released. Pathology
laboratories all over the
Netherlands can connect to the solution and share digital
pathology images to carry out consultations and revisions, and
participate in expert panels. The solution will thus play a key
role in improving cancer care in the country.
"Together with UMC Utrecht, we have been testing the
functionality of automatic upload of all images connected to a
case. What impresses me the most is the ease of use and few clicks
required," says Konnie Hebeda,
Pathologist at Radboud University Medical Center (Radboudumc).
The solution is cloud-based and enables sharing of digital
pathology images on a national scale. Being able to easily share
pathology images for consultations, revisions and panel discussions
will help to reduce lead times, decrease inter-observer variation
and improve the overall quality of diagnosis.
The project is the first of its kind in the world and was
initiated in 2017 by the Dutch Society for Pathology (NVVP) and the
nationwide pathology network Foundation PALGA. It has been
implemented by Sectra, together with the subcontractors Deutsche
Telekom Healthcare and RAM Infotechnology.

Discuss the project and experience Sectra's digital pathology
solution at the Pathology Congress at Maastricht Pathology 2018 in
the Netherlands, June 19–22. Book
